Honeslty, the name itself won't get the business off the ground for more than a day - it's a good way to alienate consumers. Support black business and workers, but don't alienate consumers - that's hustling backwards. The only color that should matter is green.

how is the name alienating non-black consumers? what if an Asian or white buyer wants to buy black, they see the title and go :krs:?

Let's be real, do Asianns support black business or themselves?
It was just a question and it didn't get answered by that breh :patrice: if the "unique" twist to the site is FUBU (for us by us), then why would they be worried about other races. Why would the title need to cater to non-blacks if the selling point is "buy black, sell black"? If it was just gonna be Amazon and cater to everyone, shyt would never have gotten the Kickstarter donations in the first place.

because it's black owned and you make it a large selling point of presenting black owned products / black cultured products...catering to black business that are underserved in communities.

anybody gonna donate to this new improvement to the site? has anyone even used the site yet? :mjpls:



After countless pleas from our community, WeBuyBlack will now expand to include Black Owned Service-Based Businesses.

After 57 emails asking that the site include services based businesses, WeBuyBlack finally is answering the community's call for expansion.

Shareef and the WeBuyBlack team are campaigning to expand the WeBuyBlack platform to include service based businesses:

"Imagine WeBuyBlack.com expanded to include services. Here, our community will now easily find businesses in their local area, hire them based off of previous customer experiences, qualifications, and get rewarded for circulating their dollars within our community.

Service based businesses will have a large variety of resources from business tools, access to funding, social interaction with potential clients, abilities to add deals and coupons, and so much more. Our team has already began working on this feature but we will need our communities support, again, to bring this expansion to fruition."
